XRP Ledger BatchV1_1 upgrade falls short of 80% validator approval threshold

The XRP Ledger BatchV1_1 amendment remains short of the 80% validator approval threshold required to trigger its 14-day activation countdown. As of September 8, 2026, the upgrade has secured 24 of 35 validator votes (68.57%), needing five more to proceed. BatchV1_1, which allows users to bundle up to eight transactions, was introduced in August 2026 to replace an earlier version disabled due to an authorization flaw.
